>>I don't want to be rude about the 3rd world, but there are techniques for making structures that mitigate the effects of a quake.
>You're not rude, just ignorant. Those techniques need money. In these third world places people don't even have proper houses to live in, much less to withstand an earthuake. In the next sentence, I mention the economic impediments. You can interpret that how you like, but most educated, sensible people would say it covers the thought of "those techniques need money". Also, you might wonder how it is that these people who don't have houses to live in are found under piles of rubble. |

You'll probably win few awards for sensitivity with those kind of comments. It's like wearing a paper hat that says "Upper/Middle class, privileged, knows shit about the world outside his home country, but insists on having an opinion" to people reading these.
What part about "not having PROPER houses to live" sounds contradictory to the rumble? Depending on the country, there's rumble that is from old buildings never repaired (e.g old colonial, or cheaply built concrete houses from better times), rumble from tin roofs in DIY shacks, etc... Here are what those houses looked in Haiti before the Earthquake for example:
